Texas rapper Travi$ Scott was arrested at Lollapalooza for allegedly urging fans to jump the barricades and storm the stage, Chicago officials say.

Scott, whose real name is Jacques Webster, had performed just one song when fans began to jump the barricades into the security pit. The rapper then fled the scene, but Chicago Police caught up with him soon after and arrested him, according to a statement from the city's Office of Emergency Management and Communications.

Concert promoter C3 Presents released a statement following the incident confirming that no fans were injured.

"Fans jumped the barricade into the security pit at Lollapalooza during Travis Scott's performance on Saturday at Lollapalooza," the statement read. "The situation was resolved quickly and no patrons were injured. Operations have resumed as normal. Chicago Police are handling the matter."

That's how this epic love letter to the Foo Fighters begins. The seven-minute video of 1,000 musicians playing the rock band's popular song was made to convince the Americans to play a concert in Cesena, on Italy's east coast.

"This video, was good! Super nice. Thank you so much," he said, according to the BBC's translation. "We're coming, I swear. We'll see each other soon."

It's not clear yet when the Foo Fighters will visit, but just asking them to come was a massive undertaking, according to Zaffagnini. He said the video took one year to put together and that the army of participants that came to the Cesena video taping were all volunteers.

"Italy is a country where dreams cannot easily come true, but it's a land of passion and creativity, so what we did in here is just a huge, huge miracle," Zaffagnini says.

Calves, like Obi, can't walk well in their first few weeks of life, according to the San Diego Zoo. But pygmy hippo mothers have a sneaky solution: tucking the calf away in bushes while she feeds.

Actress Valerie Harper is resting and feeling better according to a spokesperson for the Ogunquit Playhouse in Ogunquit, Maine, where Harper was performing in the show "Nice Work If You Can Get It," alongside Sally Struthers.

Harper was taken to York Hospital Wednesday and was discharged Thursday. Her husband told the Ogunquit Playhouse that she is relaxing with family in an undisclosed location.

Bradford Kenney, Executive Artistic Director for the playhouse, said Harper had been feeling "off" all week. On Wednesday night, she was feeling faint in her dressing room, and the staff suggested she seek medical attention.

Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan have announced on Facebook that they are expecting a baby girl.

"This will be a new chapter in our lives. We've already been so fortunate for the opportunity to touch people's lives around the world -- Cilla as a doctor and educator, and me through this community and philanthropy. Now we'll focus on making the world a better place for our child and the next generation," Facebook founder and CEO wrote in a post on Friday.

The couple tied the knot at a small ceremony at his Palo Alto, California, home in 2012. They met at Harvard and have been together for more than nine years before getting married.

Celebrities have slammed Walter James Palmer over the killing of Cecil the lion, calling the American dentist a “coward,” and urging that his license be revoked.

Palmer has admitted to killing the 13-year-old predator, a favorite with foreign tourists and the subject of a study by Oxford University, but said he had hired professional guides and believed all the necessary hunting permits were in order.

Earlier this week, Jimmy Kimmel took time out of his late-night show to reprimand the dentist, saying: “I’m honestly curious to know why a human being would feel compelled to do that. How is that fun?"

Other celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sharon Osbourne, and Ricky Gervais also took to social media to express their outrage.

Chicago rapper Chief Keef has revealed plans to hold another hologram concert, this time simultaneously in Chicago, New York and Los Angeles. There’s just one problem—finding a venue.

The latest announcement, which was made this morning, initially said Keef would be performing the “All-Star Stop The Killing Now Hologram Benefit Concert” at Madison Square Garden Co. venues, including the Chicago Theatre. But a Madison Square Garden spokesperson denied involvement in the shows, saying in a statement, “We are not involved in this in any way.”

A spokesman for Hologram USA, the company that partnered with Keef for the shows, later said the performances would not be held at those venues and said the location was still being worked out.

According to spokesman Owen Phillips, Keef partnered up with Grammy-winning producer Detail, who has worked with artists like Beyonce, Lil Wayne and Drake, and recruited an “all-star hip hop line up who will appear live via Hologram USA's technology, beaming from city to city.” A spokesperson for Detail could not immediately be reached for comment.

Hammond Mayor Thomas McDermott told the New York Times that he knows "nothing about Chief Keef" but said the concert was shut down because Keef has "been basically outlawed in Chicago, and we're not going to let you circumvent Mayor Emanuel by going next door."

Eariler this week, Keef took to Twitter to express his frustration at Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who he has claimed “banned” him from the city.

The warrant against Keef, who grew up in Englewood and has a history of gun and drug charges, stems from allegations that he hasn’t paid child support, according to a spokeswoman for the Cook County Sheriff’s Department.

Alexander, 51, was arrested Wednesday in Westchester County and charged with one count of promoting a sexual performance by a child and one count of possessing an obscene sexual performance by a child, police said.

Officials allegedly found digital pornography files on computers and external hard drives at Alexander’s Dobbs Ferry home. The files showed children younger than 16 years of age engaged in child pornography, police said.

Alexander was arraigned in Dobbs Ferry Village Court and held on $10,000 cash bail. He is due in court on November 19. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of seven years in state prison.

The Globetrotters will be beach side at the Wildwoods Convention Center until Friday.
